Yards by me pay #2 price for ribbion wire with ends cut off and Christmas lights with bulbs cut off as well. In Dec I got .95 for #2 ins and 1.65 for #1 ins wire. Most of us here go to the yard alot and the people who work there know us and what we bring in. When there is a new guy at the scale and starts going thru everything I normally tell him what it is. When I bring in brass I always bring in another box of die cast as they go thru the box of brass every time! Last time they went thru the box of die cast, LOL like I am going to rip them off on a .10 a pound item! When they start checking Alum with the magnet I pull mine out as well! If they pull out something that I don't agree with I take it back home with me!
